I'm an idiot

So, I just played a guy who brought a fairly simple CSM list.  He had two warptime princes, a summoned greater daemon, 3 units of marines with 2x meltas and power weapon in rhinos, 10 terminators with tons of combi-meltas, and 3 havoc squads with 4x autocannons apiece. 

I played like a mook.  Seriously.  I just gave the guy points.  My dread list is really a castle/shooty list that waits to capitalize when the opponent is out of place and whittled down.  I just don't get that.  My other problem is that I played with bikes for the first time tonight.  Yeah, I just gave them away to the daemon princes.  Stupid error.  So, I am really steamed right now simply because I played like an moron.  Face Palm should be tattooed on my forehead.  Here is the list I took:

HQ
MotF- power weapon/pistol, servo harness
Captain- bike, lightning claw, storm shield

Elite
Dreadnought- TL autocannon, TL autocannon
Dreadnought- TL autocannon, TL autocannon
Dreadnought- TL autocannon, TL autocannon

Troop
10 tactical marines- missile launcher, flamer, sergeant with combi-melta/meltabombs, riding in rhino (#1)
10 tactical marines- missile launcher, flamer, sergeant with combi-melta/meltabombs, riding in rhino (#2)
Bike Squad- 2x melta bikers, 1x bolter biker, powerfist sergeant, multi-melta attack bike

Fast
Landspeeder tornado- multi-melta, heavy flamer
Landspeeder tornado- multi-melta, heavy flamer

Heavy
Ironclad Dreadnought- dccw/storm bolter, seismic hammer/meltagun, ironclad assault launchers, drop pod
Ironclad Dreadnought- dccw/storm bolter, seismic hammer/meltagun, ironclad assault launchers, drop pod
Ironclad Dreadnought- dccw/storm bolter, seismic hammer/meltagun, ironclad assault launchers, drop pod

What do you think?  Am I asking for too much.  Is this list just too full of fail to worry over?  I love the theme and painting it has been fun, but man, oh man has it been a beating to play and tweak as I have just been smacked around the table.  I will keep on going though.  One thing I wish I could wiggle in some points for would be heavy flamers on the ironclads.  They don't have enough pre-assault killiness to make them truly deadly in combat. I think the heavy flamers would really make them a close up threat. Leave comments, jokes, and insults.  I deserve them tonight.
